Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh has wished for a speedy recovery for Lalit Modi. In a reply to Modi's post, Harbhajan wrote, "Get Well Soon". There have been numerous comments on Modi's Instagram post. Many people have also wished for his quick well-being.
Modi, who pioneered the T20 league Indian Premier League (IPL) -- now the richest cricket league in the world -- had left India in 2010 for London after being charged with tax evasion, money laundering and manipulating broadcast deals. He was the founder and first chairman of the IPL, running the tournament for three years but was ousted afterwards from Indian cricket following charges of various irregularities.
